Michelle Williams was inconsolable when Heath Ledger died. But in an appearance on “Nightline” in 2010, she shared that in the year following his passing, she coped by convincing herself that her former lover could come back at any time. “It didn’t seem unlikely to me that he could walk through a door or could appear behind a bush,” she explained. “It was a year of very magical thinking, and, in some ways, I’m sad to be moving further and further away from it.”
When she finally came to terms with the fact that he was gone, it hit her like a gut punch. She couldn’t believe how big of a void he left in her and Matilda’s lives, but by no means did she ever attempt to replace him. “Very obviously, for me and for her, there’s a hole in our life,” Williams told Marie Claire in 2011. “Of course, the natural inclination is to want to fill it and make it disappear, but what I’ve come to recently is that it’s impossible. Nothing will fit in that hole because what we want back we can’t get, which is this one person.”
The star admitted to Vogue she held it together “by a string and a paper clip,” but after a year, her grief became a bit bearable, all thanks to Matilda who had always reminded her of her late lover. “Every time I really miss him and wonder where he’s gone, I just look at her,” she said (via Cosmopolitan).
